Local billionaire, Terry Pegula, just purchased the Buffalo Bills. He spent a reported $1.1 billion. Terry Pegula also owns the Buffalo Sabres, our NHL team. The other bidders to buy the Bills were Donald Trump and the Jon Bon Jovi Group. If The Donald had bought the Bills, he would have moved them to Los Angeles. If the Jon Bon Jovi Group–which was basically Canadian money interests–bought the Bills, they would have moved the team to Toronto.
With Terry Pegula and his wife Kim in charge now, the Buffalo Bills will be here for a generation. The headline on the front page of our local newsper, Buffalo News, said it all: THANKS A BILLION!
